| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus 10Acman, it still swings and it's some fantastic sounding music. I no longer categorize, but simply listen to determine whether or not the music meets my qualifications as good sounding music that I would want in my collection, and this wi... | |
| Jerry Garcia, A Legacy? So nice to see so many passionate opinions concerning Jerry and the Grateful Dead. A legacy absolutely. But, it's his ensemble playing within the context of the dead as whole as well as the songs and lyrics written by him and Hunter. Weir and Barl... | |
| 2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy I don't have a vast amount of experience but I am pretty satisfied with the overall tonal balance, frequency extension, and the soundstage. Stager Silver solid IC, terminated Xhadow rca's. Supra 3.4s speaker wire, terminated with Audioquest silver... | |
| Looking for an used, inexpensive pre amp Maybe an older Van Alstine pre in that price range. | |
| Psvane 300-B Tubes ? ? ? @liquidsound heard the Emission-Labs 300-B (not the XLS variant) and they sound good however not as good (in my opinion) as my Sophia Princess mesh-plates tubes. Sorry I'm not clear, are you referring to to the Emission-Labs 300b solid plates in y... | |
| Readers Digest Classical Collections should be reissued Thank you thank you for this heads up. Regretfully I just passed on a readers box set this last weekend at my local DAV. It was in great shape but because it said Readers Digest I foolishly did not even give it a chance. | |
| Tube preamp with or without phono stage? I've had a working belief in my short audio enthusiast life that less is more. But I get that seperates and their power supplies can and are also beneficial. However in my experience thus far a 2k phono pre didn't come close to making that worth i... | |
| Tube preamp with or without phono stage? Take a look at Atma-Sphere MP-3. I don't have personal experience but it does seem to have what your looking for. Full function pre w/mm, balanced, and a huge deal for me are the dual L/R vol controls and I'm pretty sure I could run the Statement ... | |

| Best Debut Albums U2/boy. Not sure it's comparable in the bigger sense to many of the other classic debuts mentioned above but as an 11/12 year old kid at that time(80-81)it was my first real and authentic sense of music speaking to me in the way music can powerful... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Dan Hicks-It Happened One Bitei have the Edsel Records press, ’86 I think, I don’t know if it’s from a digital master or not but it sure sounds fantastic. Oh and the music aint too shabby either | |
| Budget SET or SEP recommendations? I picked up a pair of wright sound company 300b mono 8's for under a grand shipped and am very stoked. The designer has passed on now but I think his work pops up now and again if your not in a hurry. | |
| New in 2017 Very cool thread, I love the suggestions and side stories. I'm glad to hear something positive about the Newvelle work as well. I picked up an Italian press of Little Village some years back that's wonderful. Luaka Bop is coming out with an Alice... | |
| Grado cartridges still worth the money? I had an older Reference Sonata that needledoctor let me do a trade in for a Reference1 which made it 1k. I listened to a Dynavector 17d3 and a Benz Glider(not sure now what output) prior as all three were within my budget and for me Grado was the... |
